Sark sure did do a good job in setting up Washington as a destination for top recruits.

whodathunk Helfrich would fail to capitalize on a Natty appearance?
 
"Scrambling" has briefly overtaken "twisting" as the favorite verb of dawgman. Ektard, Bleenor and several others have been giddy with comparing Helfrich's recruiting to a style of preparing eggs. What they don't mention, however, is that Oregon will almost aduredly have a higher ranked class than UW when all is said and done. (Although that's partially due to long snapper, greyshirt, and unranked Bellingham guy
 
My guess is that there have been random years over the elevencade where UW did have higher ranked classes. Evidence on the field remains elusive

If you're comparing the two classes, Oregon may be higher rated on the headline merrics (overall rank and avg rank), but if you had to choose which school has the better OL & QB haul - it looks like UW to me. I always take the QB and OL in the Pac12.
 
It really doesn't mean anything until 3 years or so when the real results come through. Yes I know there is a correlation between avg. star ranking and success on the field but it's important to not get carried away.

In a similar vein, I just heard from a friend about two relatively new hires that were recently fired from his Investment banking group. Both were 5 star recruits (1 was a Harvard MBA, 1 was another Ivy League MBA) but neither had the drive because they thought they had already arrived with their newly minted MBA's and prestigious undergrad degrees.

Should've gotten a TCU MBA instead.

Scrappy 2 and 3 stars out of TCU always bring it on gameday the market open.

If I'm Blankfein out recruiting for Goldman Sachs, give me the TCU MBA guy with feces in his throat 7'days a week and twice on Sunday.

Cook it.

If you're comparing the two classes, Oregon may be higher rated on the headline merrics (overall rank and avg rank), but if you had to choose which school has the better OL & QB haul - it looks like UW to me. I always take the QB and OL in the Pac12.

Vernon Adams >>>>> any HS QB

I would take 4 years of several HS QBs in this class over 1 year of Adams.

I saw the exact same thing happen in one of the companies I worked for. Two guys - one Harvard, one Stanford - and both were worthless. Pretty good on expounding theories (most of which didn't even fit the business we were in, and probably complete garbage anyway) but when it came down to actually getting something done they were worthless. One guy lasted a year, the other hung on for a couple more only because top management couldn't believe a guy with that kind of education could be that bad. Of course they both went on to other big jobs and probably sucked there too.

Sounds like they would fit right in at Point B, Slalom, or one of the other overpriced hack consulting firms specializing in overpriced "talent" that can't hack it in any job that requires actual results.

I don't know about that, but I guess it's all opinion. I would say that most recruiting sites have Waller rated higher than Browning, and Oregon recruited the highest touted OL of the two schools in Okun. I would like to add though, that this Washington recruiting class is much more rounded than anything Sark ever acheived.

Also, Canton Kaumatule is now considered by many sites as the fastest rising DT in the country. Rivals moved him up to the 5th rated DT.

Frankly, I think it's FS to compare classes like this. TBS sites all say Oregon has a better class, but that isn't really useful information either. UW seems to have done a good job at recruiting to their needs. Oregon has done pretty well, but LB is still a concern rolling into the last week. Those of you who think that an unproven HS QB is better than a guy who has started at EWU and performed well both against UW and Oregon State... LOL. The ghost of Nick Montana must not bother you much.

Only area huskies have better recruiting in this class is linebacker u must be high if u think oline class for huskies is better than ducks, Oregon is better now when Paulo and uulave commit it will blow your group away. Remember u have Oregon kid who ducks didnt want so u know he sucks

By your same logic UO has Washington kids that UW didn't want... 3 of them in fact.
